Safety of D-allulose as a novel food pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283. [PDF]
Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Nutrition, Novel Foods and Food Allergens (NDA) was asked to deliver an opinion on D‐allulose as a novel food (NF) pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283. During the risk assessment, the Panel identified a number of data gaps, which needed to be addressed by the applicant ...

A food-grade expression system for d-psicose 3-epimerase production in Bacillus subtilis using an alanine racemase-encoding selection marker. [PDF]
Food-grade expression systems require that the resultant strains should only contain materials from food-safe microorganisms, and no antibiotic resistance marker can be utilized. To develop a food-grade expression system for d-psicose 3-epimerase production, we use an alanine racemase-encoding gene as selection marker in Bacillus subtilis.In this study,

A non-characterized gene, previously proposed as the D-tagatose-3-epimerase gene from Rhodobacter sphaeroides, was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. Its molecular mass was estimated to be 64 kDa with two identical subunits. The enzyme specificity was highest with D-fructose and decreased for other substrates in the order: D-tagatose, D-psicose,

An Update: Enzymatic Synthesis for Industrial Applications. [PDF]
Biocatalysis has become a sustainable and cost‐competitive alternative to established chemical synthesis, enabling the enzyme‐based production of not only commodity chemicals but (non‐natural) amino acids, (rare) sugars, as well as synthetic nucleotides.

Optimization of fermentation conditions for whole cell catalytic synthesis of D-allulose by engineering Escherichia coli [PDF]
D-allulose/D-psicose is a significant rare sugar with broad applications in the pharmaceutical, food, and other industries. In this study, we cloned the D-allulose 3-epimerase (DPEase) gene from Arthrobacter globiformis M30, using pET22b as the vector ...

Toxicological Assessment of D-Allulose From a Novel One-Step Fermentation Process Using Genetically Modified <i>Escherichia coli</i>: A 90-Day Dietary Toxicity Study in Rats. [PDF]
D‐Allulose is a rare monosaccharide structurally similar to D‐fructose, characterized by low caloric content and relatively high sweetness. This study aimed to conduct a 90‐day oral toxicity test to systemically evaluate the potential toxicological effects of D‐allulose produced via a novel one‐step fermentation process using genetically engineered ...

Using site-directed mutagenesis, we investigated the roles of Ile66 and Ala107 of D: -psicose 3-epimerase from Agrobacterium tumefaciens in binding O6 of its true substrate, D: -fructose. When Ile66 was substituted with alanine, glycine, cysteine, leucine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, tyrosine or valine, all the mutants dramatically increased the K (m ...
